Japan - Tidelands

I’m reminded there’s a shadow moving

Eating at the edge of each denial

Shocks then after, waves, disaster

Even a bear reaches out for help

There’s nobody there

Just miles of waste / nuclear rain

Trash made of what once was precious

I’m divided both fear and anger

Each from a source of course to be believed

High brow banter, experts counter

The images fill in the words they cannot

Lost in a flood, but burned in our conscience

We can’t go back, it won’t be the same

We can’t go back, never again

We can’t go back, and greed is the one to blame

今 夢に見る あの青い海

変わらない毎日は もう おとぎ話

目に見える この手で触れる

現実という名の ここは悪夢

空も海も山も 人も想いも消えて

ただここにあるのは 自分と明日だけ

we can’t go back, and greed is the one to blame
